<strong>Glitch</strong> <strong>Aesthetics</strong><br />

<strong>Iman</strong> <strong>Moradi</strong><br />

Because a <strong>Glitch</strong> effect is unanticipated and sometimes coincidental, any kind of<br />

regular repetition appearing in the equation makes it quite complex. 21 Normally<br />

we would not expect something coincidental to be visually repetitive in a highly<br />

systematic way, especially with razor sharp precision!<br />

This kind of repetition also makes computer glitches ultimately divergent from<br />

nature and fractals which use chaotic and “irregular patterning intentionally.”<br />

(Palmer, 1972) Tony Scott is highly assertive of the fact that the <strong>Glitch</strong> is<br />

distinctly unique from fractals in “Anti Fractal” (Scott, 2001).<br />

The patterns that computer glitch replication produces can also be likened to a<br />

digital ‘wallpaper’ that screams of the reproducibility of digital art, while<br />

maintaining the fact that they are accidental and unique.<br />

21<br />

So on the hand you have repetition that comes from a structured process and other the other a seeming<br />

randomness.<br />
